I submitted the mysterious extra n situation on military keyboards as a question for Lateral and they featured it in today’s episode!

They reserve the right to edit questions and omitted the important n-lock key. A keyboard with a permanently missing 3 would be ridiculous.

That’s insane… Can’t a website owner require bots (at least those who are identifying themselves as such) to prove at least they’re affiliated with a certain domain?

I don’t know what “12,181+181” means (edit: thanks @Thunraz@feddit.org, see Edit 1) but absolutely not 1.2181 × 10¹⁸⁵. That many requests can’t be made within the 39 × 10⁹ bytes of bandwidth − in fact, they exceed the number of atoms on Earth times its age in microseconds (that’s close to 10⁷⁰). Also, “0+57” in another row would be dubious exponential notation, the exponent should be 0 (or omitted) if the mantissa (and thus the value represented) is 0.

I fail to see any mistake. A comma belongs to either side of the word “Linux” there.

Also removed windows and shifted the bricks from a ⊞ pattern into a staggered one.

Make: command not found

Capitalization is important on UNIX!

The alternative (Effort prerequisite: Effort) is also dubious. Perhaps it’s not a dichotomy.

I’m getting used to Compose and AltGr. Unexpected Keyboard for Android helps learn compose codes by visualizing them but it’s still a bit of resistance. And yes, Compose can also be used to input Unicode hex codes.

Either way, I created a custom layout for AltGr and Shift+AltGr layers that is more convenient for me than remembering Compose and Unicode codes.

Add Windows-like Alt codes to the list. They’re not perfect (they use a DOS codepage and A-F in the Unicode extension clash with shortcuts in other programs like Firefox, although not passing them through via xkb would solve this) but people use them a lot, especially in my country. At? Alt+64. Backtick? Alt+96. Caret? Alt+94. Hash? Alt+38. Musical note? Alt+13. Yes, we can type most of these on the Czech layout with AltGr but people don’t know this and/or prefer things that work on the commonly default English layout too.

It’s not just your opinion, look at the screensavers. Basically very animated 00’s 8-bit demoscene screens that say “OMARCHY” (cannot be changed withour recompilation) over and over.

Bad choices for included software too. I see preinstalled proprietary bloat as a dick move but I could get behind Steam, which is not preinstalled, unlike Discord, Zoom, WhatsApp and Google Drive! Not to mention the AI BS.

I forced myself to read the middle and I identify with all of them but I failed (passed?) the squirrel test at a psychological examination so I’m officially ineligible for ADHD meds :(

Omarchy is just opinionated Arch…
…by a guy whose opinions include

• Google Contacts, Messages and Photos, ChatGPT web app, Zoom, X, WhatsApp, Discord and RetroArch should be preinstalled but not Steam
• screensavers with agressive OMARCHY theming should be enabled by defaut
• People who criticize ICE should be deported

Graphene is actually better than most custom ROMs in that it can contain Play Services and a few other apps, effectively acting as 2 phones in one. Where I’m from, banking apps don’t need strong Play Integrity, just Play Services.

I live in the second world and holy shit, people are so wasteful.

Any used tablet with Android will do. Some can be found in the trash even.

I believe that, it is a wide range of LCD TVs from pocket models to projection monsters.

Nah, just 1080i. And this will fill the screen (in fact, with slight overscan) but obviously native resolution is better.

Some Bravia models had 6 analog inputs (not counting VGA+3.5mm), at least one of which was a full-featured SCART port with RGB support and AV output to the VCR. And interlaced content worked seamlessly, and probably looked better than on modern TVs.

Yup, my Sony Bravia is great for movies except some quirks:

• takes over 10 seconds to sync to HDMI
• panel is 1366×768 but only 1360×768 is accessible over HDMI (it can be shifted up to 3 pixels left/right though)
• its LUT for color brightness is all messed up with RGB HDMI signals, the lowest 30 or so brightness steps map to full black and then the brightness takes off steeply. A YCbCr-capable GPU is needed to correct this (an inverse LUT is techniclly possible but will not compensate for the awfully giant steps in dark areas unless the GPU also adds dithering).
